Birth Record Index: United States/Europe, 900-1880

The extracted records include the Social Security Death Records Index, the Mortality Schedules, the lineage-linked databases 100, 101, and 102, and the Salt Lake City Cemetery records. Over 1.8 million individuals have been located in these databases that contain both a birth year and location. Records that did not have both a year and location were omitted from the compilation. Documents with a birth year after 1880 were also omitted. The Census index databases were not used because they did not have information about births. In the case of the mortality schedules, the birth year was estimated based on the age in the year of death.

Once you find your ancestor's name in this database, you can visit your local library's genealogy department or Family History Center to see if the books or CDs are listed.
